Rental Properties Newbie

[John Miller]

So I recently read the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" wow was that a great book. 

Anyway I have always wanted to be a real estate investor. I had to go back to work as a Project Manager because my girlfriend and family did not support me in anyway possible going down the route of an investor. 

I really want to save to buy rental properties to generate solid cash flow and build my assets.

Does anyone have advice on where or how to get started? How much down do I need and how to get enough money to put as a down payment.
